Tips for teens to manage common skin problems!

Stepping into your teens? Be
prepared to have a lot of physical changes in your body. And one of them
which probably every teenager goes through is common skin problems such
as pimples, blackheads, oily skin, etc. This calls for a good skincare
regimen which will help keep these problems under control. Stop using soapsThe first mistake that many
teenagers make when it comes to skincare is using soap to wash their
face. But what they don’t realise is that after hitting puberty, the
skin undergoes hormonal changes.‘After puberty,
facial skin becomes more prone to acne. Therefore, teenagers need to
modify their face cleansing routine. Body soap is harsh on facial skin
as it affects its pH balance. It strips the skin of its natural oils and
makes it feel tight and dry. Instead, use a face wash or cleanser that
is gentler and formulated for teenagers.’

leanse your skin regularly Cleansing your skin on a daily basis
is probably the best way to keep skin problems during these years at
bay. Though most teenagers will have problems like overactive sebaceous
glands secreting oil, you will find many who still manage to have better
skin than others. A good skin regimen can help you keep these problems
to a minimum. Using cold or tepid water to wash
one’s face. This is because cold water helps in tightening pores and
reduces the secretion of oil. Hot water on the other hand, will rob the
skin of its natural moisture. You can even carry a small bottle of face
wash in your bag especially during the summer months to keep your skin
free of dirt, oil and grime.Don’t pop those pimplesYou will often find a pimple on your
face before you have to attend an important event. But remember, it is
not the end of the world. Your hormones are changing and acne breakouts
are common, you aren’t alone. But many teenagers start popping those
pimples without understanding the ill-effects it has on their skin.
‘Popping pimples can damage your skin and leave marks and scars. You
should instead follow an effective and regular face cleansing regimen.
Wash your face at least twice a day. You can even buy special cleanser
which target acne-causing germs.

Teenagers usually have an oily skin
which shines. In order to keep it under control, it is important to wash
your face with a foaming cleanser twice a day. You can also use
blotting paper which will soak up the excess oil. Another important
thing is to avoid using heavy creams on the face as it will make it
greasier. Use light moisturisers and sunscreens and remember to take off
any make-up before you go to bed using a good make-up remove
